**Four tales from one of the greatest minds in science fiction.**
Robert A. Heinlein is widely and justly regarded as the greatest practitioner of the art of science fiction who has ever lived.
Here are two of his greatest short novels:
Gulf -- In which the greatest superspy of them all is revealed as the leader of a league of supermen and women who can't quite decide what to do with the rest of us.
Lost Legacy -- In which it is proved that we are all members of that league - or would be, if we but had eyes to see.
Plus two great stories -- ''Elsewhen'' and ''Jerry Was A Man'' -- two of the Master's finest: one on the nature of Being, the other on what it means to be a man (human).
